After being scolded by Li Jing, Zhou Yang felt embarrassed. Originally, Zhou Yang and Shen Xinyi had planned to go to the theme park in the next city for two days and one night this weekend, but Li Jing insisted on renovating the house first.
Because it was a ready-made house, the keys to the house were already in hand, so it was completely possible to start decorating. Li Jing kept urging Zhou Yang to start the hard decoration first.
Li Jing acted without hesitation and decided to use this weekend to finalize the preliminary design plan.
Hesitating and not knowing what to say, he dragged on until Friday night. The two of them were chatting via voice messages. Zhou Yang saw that he could not drag it on any longer, so he had to confess the truth to Chen Xinyi.
A second ago, Chen Xinyi was still excitedly talking about the guides he saw online, and which activities he wanted to try, and sent more than a dozen messages in one breath.
Just received a reply message.
As soon as she opened it, Shen Xinyi heard Zhou Yang stammer, "Xinyi, how about... we go next week?"
After a moment of shock, Chen Xinyi was unhappy, but she had a good temper and didn't lose her temper. Instead, she replied considerately, "What's wrong? Do you have to work overtime this weekend? Is there something going on at work?"
"no."
The message is only 2 seconds long, very short.
Hearing that it wasn't something at work, Shen Xinyi couldn't help but get a little angry, "Then why aren't you going? Didn't we agree on this?"
After this message was sent, the other end kept saying "inputting..." for a long time. After a long while, a voice message of more than 20 seconds popped up.
"Xinyi...um...my mom asked about the car, and...she thinks white isn't a good color, it's not festive, she wants us to buy a red one. Also...my mom said, since you're not moving in until August, and it's only May now, there's still three months left, why don't we use the money for the car to do some hard renovations on the house first?"
After hearing this, Chen Xinyi became even more unhappy. She bought the car with her own money, so of course it was up to her to decide what color to buy. If she insisted on choosing red, that was fine, but using the money for the car to decorate the house?
Doesn’t this just go in line with what her mother said, using her own money to decorate other people’s houses?
When they were buying the wedding house, although they looked at houses together, the reality was that she was like a nobody and she only bought the house that Li Jing liked.
As for the fact that Zhou Yang's name was not on the house later, Shen Xinyi was not stupid. She also knew that Li Jing did this to guard against her, but she just didn't want to care about it.
They paid the full amount, so she didn't write it down. She didn't go there for Zhou Yang's house. When they were dating in college, she didn't know what Zhou Yang's family background was.
It just so happened that the person she liked came from a much better family than hers, and it was precisely because of this family inequality that she wanted to be with Zhou Yang, and was bound to suffer some grievances. She could tolerate these.
Chen Xinyi was thinking a lot, feeling aggrieved and angry. In the silence, Zhou Yang sent another long voice message on her phone.
"Xinyi, don't be angry. Listen to my explanation. I've thought about it carefully. It makes sense to do the hard decoration first. Think about it, after the house is decorated, the smell must be dissipated, right? Otherwise, it will be full of formaldehyde and we can't live in it!"
We will start with the hard decoration and then remove all the parts containing formaldehyde. The installation will take about 3 or 4 months. By September or October, the house will be almost finished. Then we will ventilate the house for a few months. Next year, we just need to buy some furniture and we can move in. How great is that?
My mom is just like that, she likes to meddle in everything, her meddling is wider than the Pacific Ocean. Sometimes even I can’t stand her. Now that the new house is ready, we can move in soon and live in our own world just the two of us. How wonderful it would be!
After listening to Zhou Yang's long speech, Shen Xinyi thought that it seemed to make sense.
After several contacts, Shen Xinyi had some understanding of Li Jing's character. With a strong mother-in-law who had the final say in everything, she would definitely suffer if they lived together. Shen Xinyi was very tempted to move into the new house as soon as possible.
Things that smell good from a distance smell bad up close; this is absolutely true.
Although she was moved, Shen Xinyi still felt uncomfortable using the savings she had intended to use to buy a car before marriage to decorate the house.
Without letting up, Shen Xinyi asked Zhou Yang for his opinion, “Zhou Yang, what do you think about this?”
Zhou Yang replied quickly this time, "I think it's a good idea to decorate the house first."
"I mean, I took out the money to decorate the house, but what about the wedding car?"
Chen Xinyi knew that her mother had a hard life and didn't want to spend Lin Xiaoman's money, so she preferred to buy the wedding car herself.
When Zhou Yang heard this question, he was quite troubled and didn't know what to say. What he meant was that Li Yanying should buy the wedding car. In their place, it was basically like this when they got married, the man provided the house and the woman provided the car. He also thought that it was normal for Li Yanying to pay for the car.
But he also knew that he couldn't say this, otherwise Xinyi would definitely be angry.
"As for the car, let's take out a loan. There are so many discounts on cars now, even 0 down payment is possible." Zhou Yang chose a compromise suggestion.
"loan?"
Chen Xinyi thought about it and realized that since it was her car and was in her name, she would have to pay off the loan herself!
Chen Xinyi inexplicably recalled Lin Xiaoman's words of advice. Although she vowed that she and Zhou Yang could be together forever, Lin Xiaoman's words still left a deep impression on her.
Just don't give her time to think about it.
Zhou Yang sent another message, "Xinyi, don't stress. I'll set up a timer for transfers. After I get paid, it will be automatically transferred to your online bank account. I'll keep 1,000 every month and transfer the rest to you. You can use my salary to pay off your loan."
